AFNOR Certification accreditations

AFNOR Certification was the first French certification body to be awarded COFRAC (French Accreditation Committee) accreditation.

The scope of this accreditation is regularly extended in order to secure greater confidence in AFNOR Certification certificates, equally spanning business management system certification, competency certification, product certification and services certification or inspection.

The scopes of accreditation, as listed below, can also be found on the COFRAC website, at

Recognition of COFRAC, UKAS accreditation in Europe and worldwide

In Europe

The nationally-recognized accreditation bodies in Europe have networked to form the EA (European Cooperation for Accreditation) infrastructure, and co-signed an EU-frameworked mutual recognition agreement for their conformity assessment activities, notably for certifications covering management systems, products and services, and people.

Under this framework, COFRAC (accreditations N°3-0738, 4-0001, 4-0057, 4-0571, 5-0030, 5-0071; Scope available at
www.cofrac.fr
)and UKAS (accreditation N°022; Scope available at
www.ukas.com
) accreditations are officially recognized in every single country where EA-member accreditation bodies operate, just as if AFNOR Certification and the AFNOR UK Ltd had been accredited by each of these accreditation bodies, thereby avoiding a build-up of superfluous accreditations.
The list of signatories to the EA multilateral agreement can be found here.

Worldwide

EA is a member of the worldwide IAF (International Accreditation Forum) network, and has signed a mutual recognition agreement with the other IAF member bodies covering quality certification body accreditation.
